479: Refocus to Rise Series: Purpose
Episode 479
Tuesday, 9 December, 2025
Episode Summary: In this finale of our "Refocus to Rise" series, Mark and Theron break down exactly how to transition from planning to execution. While many people set New Year's resolutions that fade by February, this episode focuses on creating purpose-driven goals that stick. Whether you are listening at the start of the year or need a reset mid-year, these evergreen principles will help you align your values, balance your professional and personal life, and architect a process that guarantees results. In this episode, you will learn: The "North Star" Concept: How to define your "Why" to guide difficult decision-making. The Energy Test: A simple mental check to see if your goals are exciting you or draining you. The Setback Filter: How to audit your previous year to identify internal weaknesses that held you back. Dual Focus Resolution: Strategies for merging your professional drive with your personal development. Architecting the Process: Why "micro-practices" and time blocking are superior to relying solely on willpower. Key Action Steps from this Episode: 1. Align Your Values Before setting a goal, run the "Energy Test." Ask yourself: Does this goal excite me, or does it feel like doing taxes? Use a "Setback Filter" to review why you missed previous goals—not to blame external factors, but to identify internal hurdles you need to clear. 2. Create a Dual Focus Resolution Don't compartmentalize your life. Look for ways to stack your professional goals (career/financial) with your personal resolutions (health/relationships). Focus on process-based goals (e.g., "Walk 10 minutes a day") rather than just outcome-based goals (e.g., "Lose 20 lbs"). 3. Architect the Process Micro-Practices: Define the small, daily habits that lead to the big result. Time Blocking: Schedule your priority actions first, rather than hoping you have time for them at the end of the week. Review Rhythm: Establish a consistent schedule (weekly, monthly, or quarterly) to review your progress. Don't write a novel; just check your trajectory. Quotes from the Episode: "It's important to understand that you can't lose 20 pounds. You can walk 10 minutes a day." "We fill our calendar with all the things that we have to do... and we save the things that move the needle in our resolutions for if we have time for it." "Goals have buddies. If you align your goals in such a way... you can do that goal stacking and habit stacking to increase your productivity."
